The Gift of Life
Each spring, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s outdoor plaza transforms into a garden of scarlet and gray pinwheels. This marks the celebration of renewed life through organ transplant, further illustrating our dedication to shortening the national list of 103,000+ people who need lifesaving transplants.
From Donor to Recipient
Ohio State’s Comprehensive Transplant Center is making the most of a limited and precious human resource: donor organs. The COPPER Laboratory’s specialists ensure organs’ viability for transplant using ex-vivo organ perfusion, a game-changing technology that respirates and nourishes organs outside the body.
Improving Outcomes Through Research
To help recipients thrive post-surgery, researchers at the Bumgardner Laboratory study the causes of cell and organ transplant rejection. Their discoveries, such as a novel cell therapy to avoid kidney transplant failure, can predict and prevent complications.How you can help
